It's been pointed out that I left a verse or two out in my previous
posting .  I can only plead a mind damaged by an overdose of Japanese
cartoons at an early age.  Here is another, hopefully complete, version
of the lyrics to the Speed Racer Title Song:

	Here he comes
	Here comes Speed Racer
	He's a daemon on wheels.

	He's a daemon and he's gonna be
	chasing after someone.

	He's gaining on you so you'd better look alive
	He's busy revving up the powerful Mark V!
	And when the odds are against him 
	and there's dangerous work (crunch crunch)

	You bet your life Speed Racer
	will see it through

	Go, Speed Racer!
	Go, Speed Racer!
	Go, Speed Racer, Go!

	He's almost flying as he guns the car around the track.
	He's jamming down the channel like he's never coming back.
	Adventure's waiting just ahead!

	Go, Speed Racer!
	Go, Speed Racer!
	Go, Speed Racer, Go-o!

The functions of the buttons:

	A: Release remote-control bird
	B?: Seal canopy for underwater operation
	C?: Extend winglets for long-distance jumps (?)
	D?: Raise TV periscope
	E?: Oxygen supply
	F?: Extra-traction thingies on tires
	G: Extend jacks and freeze-frame
	   (What, no horn?)

(By the way, I can't remember if this question was asked in net.tv or
net.games.trivia, but both groups seem to be off on an old TV animation
kick right now, so I can't be too far off.)

The meaning of the term "daemon on wheels" is left to the reader's
imagination.  :-)
